I bet you PC's wife could smell it a few blocks away. I'd go for that unheated garage if she doesn't store her car there.
The first time I kept a male in my bedroom I smelled it in my sleep.

The garage would work with a small heater

I would need to get a heater. Its a Big garage. 4 car + I think reversing will be my only shot at getting more seeds at least until I can make more room. I am hoping to make a Drying area that I can use for clones and stuff like breeding. I just have A Lot of stuff up.

My Chernobyl male was the smelliest plant I've ever grown. He was a musky skunky dude, really loud. Was a good sized plant

You really should consider it tho PC. It's a great feeling knowing you're all set for seeds

Yeah If I had a place to isolate the male somewhere he wont stink up the house. I am going to wait till I can make room for a drying room/ multi purpose area so I can collect pollen I first want to reverse one and see how it does. Maybe someone will pollenate a few and make Lots of seeds

Someday I'll try and build a space bucket just for male's. Just something plastic that can be hosed down. A small light bulb, computer fan. Cheap and easy to get rid of the man dust later
The MMS guy buys a new tent everytime he breeds. Then tosses it after breeding project is over. Too extreme for me.
But a plastic tote chamber would be easy to build. I'd still let him drop the pollen in my shed. I'm scared of it floating around my house

yeah I hadn't considered a 5 gallon bucket but that would be a great place to keep one That with my little cheapo grow light we used to keep the Gardenia alive over they winter. That is if he isn't stinky. Yeah until I can make a proper room for drying etc. where I would have a filter and fan for the odder I may try to reverse though. I think I will have to stick with that until I can make some more room

I've been looking for one of those blue barrel's for water or food. Not the 55 gallon ones, the smaller ones. I think they might be 30 gallon. Anyway I think it would be perfect for flowering small male's.
I'll run across one sooner or later

Dealing with males is something I need to learn more about. The last time I had a male I missed it because it was an auto and I didn't think I had males but one grew balls and exploded over all my girls so I had to scrap the whole grow so I am gun shy

i use those for soil storage there not to heavy i can stack them just put boards between them
I just made a male isolation chamber today. I didn't add a computer fan but it would be easy to do. Funny thing is mine isn't stinky at all. No more stinky than before I flipped it.

I like it
I've been wanting to build a reusable breeding chamber. Maybe a throwaway one would be better. Less cleaning
I don't intend on throwing it away. I'll just spray it down and let it dry for the next go round! Folds flat too

i thought male plants wouldn't smell since they don't flower

they still give off an odor usually not strong but if you get one that really stinks and some do those could be good ones for breeding!
Some males can be real stinkers.

A Male flowers. It is called a staminate flower because the flower contains stamens which contain the pollen.
Female flowers are pistillate.
